Cute couple alert!! Meeting at cafes are probably a common thing amongst my couples. Amr was a hardworking med-student that frequently "studied" at a cafe where Justine was a barista in Chicago. After a couple of months of buying A LOT of coffee, he finally made his move and was happily accepted! Together they then moved to Brooklyn, NY where they both reside today and had their beautiful wedding at Astra on 59th and 3rd ave! Astra is by Charlie Palmer and is now named Upper Story in the D&D Building (Decoration and Design). This was a gorgeous New York City Wedding that was paired with an amazing chef, Charlie Palmer at his restaurant UPPER STORY (which is formally known as ASTRA) and delicious food with a gorgeous view of New York City right at their fingertips.

Sally and Chris got ready at the gorgeous Greenwich Hotel in New York City and had their ceremony and reception with close friends at Grand Banks; an AMAZING boat-restaurant on the 25th pier! I was totally blown away at the views!! After exchanging their vows, everyone enjoyed Murray Cheese plates, oysters and cocktails and celebrated with the couple on the boat. With the sun setting behind them, an amazing view of downtown manhattan in front of them, the amazing summer breezy pier weather- nothing could have topped this. It was one of the most unique weddings I've ever photographed!!! Definitely continually stapling why I love being a New York City wedding photographer! Here are some of my favorite images of the day!!
